THE CHICAGO ELECTION.
A SWEEPING VICTORY FOR THE EN-
TIRE REPUBLICAN TICKET.


Several Thousand as Estimated-No DEM
ocratic Ticket in the Field-Prohibition
Defeated In Michigan-Elsewhere.
CHICAGO, April G. The municipal election
has resulted in sweeping victory for the
Republican ticket Al very large vote was
polIed in all the wards, and the returns show
that John A. Roche, Republican candidate
for mayor, has been elected by a majority Of
2s,241, having received 81 ,OS9 votes to Nelson,
United Labor, 22,S4s. The balance Of the
Republican ticket also received lurge major
tiles. The city council is largely Republican.
In the Fifth ward, E. D. Conner, Socialist,
was elected alderman NJ.
This was one Of the most remarkable mu-
nicipal contests that Chicago has ever ex-
perienced in the half century of her history.
For eight years past the Democracy has held
the reins of the city government, and, like
Dick Wilmington of old, Carter Harrison,
when he steps down and out, viii be able to
read in the bells the valedictory, Farewell,
thou four times mayor of Chicago" And yet,
after four years of rule, and with almost
certain victory before it for at least two
years more, the Democratic party less than
week ago became so completely demoralized
through its inability to find standard
bearer to fill Harrison's shoes, that it was
without ticket in the field, and the Repub-
licans alone were left to do battle with the
Labor-Socialistic element.
Robert Nelson, who headed the Labor
ticket, is an iron molder, and master work
man of the district assembly of the knights
of Labor Personally he had no particular
official utilization with the Socialists, but the
A.. - tn
full control Of the United Labor party, and
that two of his associates on the ticket were
avowed Socialists of the ultra type, gave the
Republicans ths opportunity Of raising the
cry Of "Down it'll the red flag, = and the cleo
ton Resolved tself into fight between the
commercial, in, lustriaT and business interests
and the trades Unions, Socialists and Anarch-,
lists.
Mr. Nelson received strong support, but
the aggregate of the Labor vote was not as
large by a number of thousands as had been
estimated. In the Fourteenth ward, where
the Labor party expected decisive results,
the majority for Roche was nearly 500, and
in several other wards counted upon by the
supporters of Nelson the voting was in favor
of the Republicans.
There was no special excitement during
the day, the voting proceeding in all the
precincts In q steady, quiet manner. The
Republican ticket received considerable
Democratic support, that party having no
ticket in the field and dividing its vote be-
tween Roche and Nelson
Early, in the morning Theodore Frankson,
ticket peddler for the Labor party, dropped
dead on the sidewalk at the First precinct. of
the Third ward. He had just arrived at his
post of duty In the evening the great Re
publican victory was celebrated by bonfire'
and other publications.

Prohibition Defeated in Michigan.

DETROIT, Mich, April THE greatest IL
terest still centers in the result of the vote on
the Prohibition amendment. The Prohibi-
tionists are still claiming its succe ss, in the
face Of the announcement by the papers that
it had been defeated by majorities ranging
from three to fifteen thousand. They claim
shat the vote Of the rural precincts, still IN
reported, viii be sufficient to give them the
victory Revised figures received from all
the counties indicate the defeat OF the amend
ment by 5000, and that these figures Will not
be materially changed.
The Tribune claims majority for the Ret
publican state ticket Of about 1900, and the
Free Press comedies 1000.

THENEWS OF THE NATION
COMPANIES TO TAKE PART IN THE
COMING DRILL.

Excitement Over the Withdrawals or the
Montgomery Companies subsiding-Re-
port or the Adulteration Of Butter-In-
terstats Commerce Work-Notes.
WASHINGTON, April Q. The talk about the
withdrawal Of the Montgomery companies
from the drill has about died out in the pres
sure Of other matters here. Gen. Charles J.
Anderson, commander Of the first brigade Of
Virginia volunteers, was In Washington, and
conferred fully with Gen. Ordway and Man
aging Secretary DeLeon, as to the drill. The
two colored companies, whose entry created
the excitement about negro troops, belong to
two of the battalions Of Gen. Anderson's
command. He stated that one of them had
done good service at the Newport News,
Virginia, riot, and that both were recognized
Virginia troops and paraded in public coca.

. Gen. Anderson's visit looked to arrange
nent Of details for the visit of his entire
First brigade to the May encampment. This
will comprise some twenty-six or twenty
eight companies Of infantry aud several bat
ieries of artillery, and probably one or more
cavalry troops. The colored companies will
comprise part Of this force, and will be under
Gen. Anderson's command, in his brigade
camps. Naturally they will not be thrown
with any 9th II commands, and the idea OF
this military service suggesting any social
equality is secuted here Gen. Anderson
endorse very decidedly the stand taken by.
the drill committee, and said they could
not consistently have taken any other
course.
Governor Fitz Lee has written to Chair
man Wheatley that he viii be at the drill to
review the Virginia troops.
Adjt Gen. Jones, Of North Carolina, is
still in the city, and again to-day endorsed
the action of the drill committee as the only
one proper under the circumstances. The
kilograms from Montgomery announcing the
withdrawal of the other southern companies
are the only ones received at drill headquar-

Called to the Park street Church,
Bridgeport.
A meeting of the Park street Congrega-
tional church was held Wednesday evening
and there was large attendance. 1t was
summoned for the purpose of taking action
upon the proposed calling to the passionate of
Rev. II. G. Hovey, d. D., of Minneapolis,
Mimi, formerly of Fair Haven. When this
subject came up a standing vote was favored
and this was unanimously in favor of the
choice of Rev. DIR. Hovey, not one rising in
dissent. The gentleman has preached be-
fore the congregation but once and this
action is a very decided compliment to his
ability as q divine. The four deacons-
Messrs Winton, Wooster, Woodruff and
Storr-were appointed committee to confer
with the society's committee relative to call
ing a session of the Ecclesiastical society
for the purpose of ratifying the
action of the church, which will I'M
doubtedly be done. 1t was voted
that an invitation should be extended to
the reverend gentleman to attend the family
tea given by the ladies of the congregation
last evening. DR.. Hovey's wife has gone
back to Minneapolis but he and his daughter
are visiting friends in Fair Haven. The
Standard says: CDR. Hovey was first recon-
mended to the committee by Prof Lewellyn
Pratt of Hartford He is said to be specially
a favorite with the young people of his form
or parishes and to enter heartily into their
plans of church work. He and the young
ladies of his family are musicians and his
wife takes deep interest in the work of the
church. If call is extended to DR.. Hovey,
Bridgepcrs will gain citizen to be proud of
and one who will take first rank among
those interested in philanthropic, scientific
and religious objects"

Local Arr Talent.

At the exhibition at Cutters by local Ia
lent in art is very finely executed represen-
tation by Artist Hendrick of 50 bill on a
suitable background. The picture is neatly
framed and deeeives many, the imitation
being SO closely and admirable done. It is a
capital piece of work.
Also picture by Mr.. Haberle in the same
collection entitled, can Old Hand at &c.,"
is fine character sketch of an old dame
who is displaying with evident pleasure the
winning cards in the game, which in part
gives name to the picture. Mr.. Haberls is
the teacher of the New Haven Art club,
which is composed of several local artists and
others interested in art. The club meets at
the club room every Monday evening.
At TrBger's restaurant is an oil painting
representing cigar box cover which is APP
parently tackled to pine board. Upon the
center of the cover is an impression appar-
emily made by branding iron, while across
the ends and sides of the cover are repre-
sented the revenue stamps and paper orna-
mentations usually found upon cigar boxes.
On one corner of the cover is represented
photograph of lady, under which appears
the familiar autograph of "Mora." The
work is admirably done. Even the intricate
lines of the geometric lathe work upon the
stamp are initiated in the most perfect man
ner. Mr.. TRACER prizes the picture very
highly and has recently given the artist, Mr..
Haberle, a commission to paint companion
picture.

Meeting of the Joint Memorial Day
Committee.
The joint Memorial day committee COM
mittee comprising members of the various
Grand Army posts in the city met at the
committee rooms in the State House last
evening, and elected the following officers:
Col. William H. Pierpont, chairman; Samuel
Morris, secretary; William H. Bouton, treas
uaer Ths matter regarding the ceremonies
of the day were discussed informally. 1t
seemed to be generally agreed that the pro
ceedings should have less of a military char
acter that last year, while the dedication cere-
monies proper should be more elaborate. 1t
was deemed impelite, if not unjust, to request
the city battalion to parade, in view of the
near approach of the monument dedication
day, when the various regiments of Connec-
ticut troops are expected to participate.
There will probably be brief parade of the
several G. A. R. posts, and the entire outside
ceremonies will occupy but half day. The
committee adjourned to meet Friday evening
